Ahoy mates!

Another Monday is upon us. What did y'all do this weekend? Did you get any bench time or was your weekend filled with honey-dos? Good, bad or so-so, sound off mates.

Mine was a honey-do weekend, between Mrs. Gator and Gunny. After cutting the grass at my house and my mother-in-law's in this wonderful Louisiana heat, I didn't have the energy to do anything else this weekend. I did manage to get some painting done on my 1/5 Lt. Kobayashi bust, but that was it.

Gator,

It's been a few years but I remember being in that heat at FT. Polk and I don't miss that at all. This weekend was part honey do and part work. On Friday we had a garage sale so that meant I had to sit outside and turn in to a sun burnt wildspear (wifey bought me some beer for my time so were even). Sat was spent at work (sunburn didn't help...lol). Sunday I did get some bench time, pieced together some depth charges for my S-100.

By the way my weekends are normally 3 days (Fri, sat, sun) but I only get those every other week.

I have a buddy that works that kind of schedule. Mine is straight 4 ten hour days. I try to get all the honey-dos out on Friday that way I have Saturday and Sunday to play.

I am still waiting for my rigging line to come in- my first internet puchase. I must say I was disappointed with the sites I looked at. All I wanted was some thread, I expected to pay $2-4 for it but the lowest shipping and “handling” I could find was $12.50.

Other than that I did some rough drafting for a potential next project, the Sophie from scratch. A lot less rigging involved there!
Oh and I changed my avitar and signiture.

Hi Guys,

Some progress on the internal rooms in the Ligthhouse, updates in the thread.

Cheers

Got some work done on my Grandfathers ship dio and started a 1/72 Jagdpanther.

My Ticonderoga is reaching the finishing stages. Laid a lot of brass rails and stuff (stolen from leftover's of other kits). Fit isn't the best, but for $10 (minihobbies at a HL 1/2 price sale) I've had fun as I am not sweating the small stuff. Actually, at a distance the kit looks pretty good...up close and personal well .... my hand painted stripes are a wee bit crooked and gaps can be seen in a few spots.

Unfortunately mine was a "honey do" weekend. Changed the oil on both cars, mowed the lawn, cleaned the backyard, planted grass in said yard, set up a flower bed. It's not always this busy, but with the change in weather SWMBO always seems to find more and more to do. I don't really get a rest until football season starts. Is it September yet?

Weekend was kept busy and involved little bit's of work. Went fishing came back worked on taping my corvette for painting. Sunday rolls around had to do lot's of work so no time to get anything done. Then Finally yesterday picked up the paint for the corvette ! but i am not to sure since they were supposed to be revell paint but I got a mix of modelmasters and humbrol I just hope they work otherwise lots of and . Well talk to yall later.

not so much a honey do weekend for me, more like work! Played a concert on saturday night and did an extra rehearsal on sunday afternoon. that's a musician's life. managed to pop into the LHS after that though. so many new kits...so little money...

Well my weekend turned into a very long work day on Saturday (15hours) due to an emergency, then it ment catch up day on Sunday trying to do the things I would normaly have done on Saturday evening and Sunday.

So no chance to get near a model

Hopefully I can do some this week.

Ciao
